Not only is burning the Qur′an a tradition that began 1,365 years ago (give or take) but it was begun by a Muslim; not only a Muslim but a Caliph, mind you.
The video below by David Wood and Nabeel Qureshi from Answering Muslims reflects some of my own research but, of course and as you will see, tackles the issue in a much more commemorative way.
My work on this issue is found in my section on Islam, specifically On the Qur’an’s Composition along with a telling of one of my visits to our local Islamic Center where I encountered Misconceptions in Reason and History (and also, delicious soy sauce marinated meat balls).
My question is: will Muslims who come across the video respond to David and Nabeel in an intellectual and scholarly manner or with an assortment of baseless besmirchments?
